Nire ama Roman hil da (My mother died in Rome) will be presented in the exhibition Manifesto. Art today, facing the doubts at Fabra i Coats - Centre d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona, curated by David Armengol & Marti Manen. It consists of handmade facsimiles of the "exceptional" graffiti discovered in Iruña-Veleia, an archaeological site in Basque Country, and a video in which the inscriptions are deciphered by different experts in favour of, or opposing, the theory that they are forgeries.

The program The Text: First Notions and Findings is about the emotional relationships that are established between the person writing and the person reading. Reading a few pages of a novel in bed just before going to sleep, we allow the words to inundate us. In contrast, the exhibition offers a colder distance; we do not stroll dreamily through it, but in it we also find conceptual and passional challenges that allow us to escape from the usual rhythm.

The Text: First Notions and Findings is made up of five exhibitions, work groups, complementary activities and an educational project. The five exhibitions are organized like a book, beginning with a prologue and ending with an epilogue.

Chapter III: Manifesto. Art today, facing the doubts. All really good manifestos should be a starting point, a possibility, a powerful belief. They are about opening up worlds, making specific proposals, getting other people to take part, expanding the radius of action. A manifesto stems from a case that has to be made, set out and followed. Reading something artistic as a manifesto calls for belief and trust in the power of something—which happens to be innovative, fair, necessary or opportune—to defend a given attitude in the face of a reality that says something to us. Manifestos are not designed to keep mouths shut; they aim to raise awareness, take apart acquired notions and be a revolution in themselves—although whether on a small or large scale remains to be seen.
